Enjoying Cars The Way We Used To - Speedhunters (blog)
Not the kind of nostalgia involving reclining in a buttoned-leather armchair and fondly recounting the days when we wore onions on our belts (as was the style at the time), I’m referencing the hysteria that comes with the ‘re-release’ of... The armchair kind of nostalgia – that’s how I like it. Easy going and free of those expectations that burden the commercialised barrage of the way things were. The event: Mothers Chrome Expression Session.

In the past few years, things haven’t so much declined more as changed, with a focus from flashy show builds shifting to useable street cars and drag racing’s popularity dissipating into the drift set. Central city streets are no longer bustling with the chirrup of blow-off valves venting to atmosphere or throaty induction, but this is where the Chrome Expression Session really twanged a nostalgic nerve.
